CLEVELAND – PolyOne today announced that Franklin Electric selected Geon™ Fiberloc™ glass-reinforced vinyl composite for the control head of its new Inline 400 booster pump. The Franklin Electric Inline 400 booster pump, features Geon Fiberloc™ glass-reinforced vinyl composite in the control head. Geon Fiberloc™ glass-reinforced vinyl composite houses the electronic “smart” system for the Franklin Electric Inline 400 booster pump control head.

In Europe, new patent-pending grades are formulated using recovered materials such as recycled polypropylene, recycled oil, and recycled glass filler. Suitable for overmolding onto polypropylene (PP), the new TPEs have comparable performance to prime grades, and can replace them in typical applications for lawn and garden, outdoor high performance, personal care, footwear, office supplies, houseware durables, and automotive industries.      Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

The first propeller designs used a 60% long glass fiber reinforced nylon 6 composite, and testing on higher horsepower motors was successful. Complēt™ MT long glass fiber reinforced nylon 6 composite was selected because of the extra durability provided, making this solution ideal for demanding applications like Piranha’s propellers. The addition of a toughening agent to the long fiber composite provided improved vibration damping, according to Stahl.

Especially useful for structural applications, the new global capabilities complement an existing suite of comprehensive design and technical services  to improve Avient’s ability to simulate the expected performance of short, long, and continuous fiber composites. Currently, 168 long fiber models are available for Avient materials, representing nearly half of the long fiber models in Digimat. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint  

This abundant supply includes thousands of tons of PVB, found in the inner layer of the glass, potentially bound for landfills. Instead, the outer glass is recycled and the PVB is reclaimed and reprocessed for various uses, including an alternative raw material source for polymers. These injection moldable TPEs can be overmolded to polypropylene (PP) and come in a natural grade that can be easily colored.
